Whereas the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association has been a pioneer in the

Whereas the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association has gained national 
        distinction by developing innovative breakthroughs in engineering,

Whereas the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association will continue to look
